definitely worth having some content on this guys

depends on where ,how ,and how much you train, if you train just 3-4 times a week i assure you that you won't be able to make it unless you are 10 times more talented than Roger Federer Reality Check!! Most Pro Start Early, some from as soon as 6-7 years old, then usually the top pros joins a tennis academy most famous one is Nick Bolliteri Academy in US (Agassi, Sharapova, and many more) there they practice like a few session a day with a few specialized coach, also they maintain their fitness and sharpen their athletism everyday. also another important thing is to get a chance to have a lot of practice with high level players , when you go to an established tennis academy you can have a chance to go againts good player. going to an national training camp is also what most pro does, federer regularly joins the swiss national training camp when he was small, i heard. and then go compete on tournaments, usually a potential pro player joins and win the tournament above their age, Sania Mirza won an asian tournament for age under 18 when she was like 15 or 14 to join the pro first you can try and play in atp challanger tournaments to start earning your atp points then if you are in top 100 you can play in master series and grandslams i don't know the requirement to join the atp challanger but if you are really serious you can ask arround so in the end it depends on you are you good enough, can you be dedicated enough?

It is never too late to play excellent tennis at that age, becoming a Pro needs more than just playing well. You need tournament experience and good exposure to survive in the tour. Tennis is a game of skill and it is always said that repetition is the mother of all skill. I do not think you will be able to play i.e excellent forehand under pressure better than someone who started ten years before you. Most of the top pro today i.e Top 100 started playing before they were teenagers. I watched Boris Becker played at 8 years! and I was not surprised he won winbledon at 17 years(9 years later). The strokes and movement at 8 years were terrific, no difference when he won 9 years later. But the maturity,mind, experience and exposure were different. It takes more than just playing well to be successful in the professional world.

Try! My best wishes! It is possible!

Dont ever ever let anyone crush your dreams ok. NEVER SAY NEVER. Look at Pat Rafter he wasn't good till he was 19 an then all of a sudden he was a champion. Pursue your dream never give because if you do give up you will not get anywhere. Thomas Edison the famous inventor tried 22, 000 times to invent a light bulb and you know what got him there not giving up and trying your hardest. And remember losing or making mistakes is Gods way of teaching you a lesson and telling you whats wrong so do not ever give up. A running athlete does not look at the finish line because it will seem impossible but they look at the lamppost ahead. Step by step you will get there. Good Luck!

18 is fine! go for it!

It is not too late to become a pro tennis player! If you are in Europe, make contact with the Manolo Santana Tennis Club in the south of Spain. The club is run by Manola (Manuel) Santana who was a winner of both Wmbledon and the US open. He also helps out Rafa Nadal. He is a great guy and very approachable. Manolo Santana Racquets Club, Carretera de Istán, Km. 2, 29600, Marbella - T: 952 778 580 F: 952 865 487 E: info@manolosantana.net In 1965, Santana, who had begun his career as a ball boy and "picked up" the game, led Spain to unexpected victory over the U.S. in the Davis Cup, and he became a national hero, receiving the public approval of the Spanish leader, General Franco. Despite his previous Grand Slam successes in the French Championships (1961, 1964) and the U.S. Championships (1965), Santana's win at the 1966 Wimbledon lawn tennis championships was a surprise, where he defeated the sixth seed R.D. Ralston 6-4, 11-9, 6-4. This was his last Grand slam title. His last major win was in 1970 by winning Barcelona where he defeated Rod Laver 6-4 6-3 6-4. He also captured the doubles title in Barcelona that year when he teamed with L. Hoad to defeat R. Laver/A. Gimeno 6-4 9-7 7-5. He was named to the Hall of Fame in 1984. At the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, Santana won the Gold Medal in Singles, tennis being only a demonstration sport as in 1984. He later was captain of the Spanish Copa Davis Team twice, once in the 80s and again for four and a half years in the mid-90s, until he was dismissed in 1999. Currently, he is the organizer of the Madrid Masters.[1] He manages the Manolo Santana Racquets club, a tennis club in Marbella, and the Sport Center Manolo Santana, in Madrid.
